Marc de Bonte (born February 27, 1990) is a Belgian kickboxer who competes in the light heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions. He won bronze at the IFMA World Championships in 2010 and silver in 2012 as an amateur, and debuted with the Glory promotion in October 2012.

Career

De Bonte starting practicing kickboxing and Muay Thai at six years old.[1] As an amateur, he took a bronze medal at the 2010 IFMA World Championships in Bangkok, Thailand. He followed this up with a silver at the 2012 games in Saint Petersburg, Russia where he lost to Artem Levin in the final.[2][3][4]

In 2011, he signed with the Muaythai Premier League but was able to fight just once in the short-lived promotion, a split decision win over Jiri Zak at Muaythai Premier League: Strength and Honor in Padova, Italy on October 8, 2011.[5][6][7]

He knocked out Michael Buxant via fifth round knee at MaxPain in Genk, Belgium on February 10, 2012 to win the Belgian −81 kg/181 lb Championship.[8]

The following year, de Bonte was recruited by Glory, the world's premier kickboxing organization, and he made his promotional debut at Glory 2: Brussels on October 6, 2012 in Brussels, Belgium[9][10][11] where he lost to Murthel Groenhart by knockout from a knee in round two of their 79 kg/175 lb bout.[12][13]

He returned at Glory 6: Istanbul in Istanbul, Turkey on April 6, 2013, moving up to the 85 kg/187 lb division to face L'houcine "Aussie" Ouzgni.[14][15] He won via a knee KO early in round one[16][17][18] to move up to the #3 spot in Glory's middleweight rankings.[19][20]

He was set to fight Nieky Holzken in the Glory 13: Tokyo - Welterweight World Championship Tournament semi-finals in Tokyo, Japan on December 21, 2013.[21] However, he was then replaced by Raymond Daniels in the tournament for undisclosed reasons.[22]

He was set to fight against Nieky Holzken for the inaugural Glory Welterweight (-77.1 kg/170 lb) Championship at Glory 14: Zagreb in Zagreb, Croatia on March 8, 2014[23][24] but the fight was cancelled when Holzken suffered a shoulder injury in a car accident.[25] The match was rescheduled for Glory 16: Denver in Broomfield, Colorado, US on May 3, 2014[26] but Holzken withdrew again due to his recurring shoulder injury and was replaced by Karapet Karapetyan.[27][28] He defeated Karapetyan via split decision to take the title.[29][30]

He lost his title against Joseph Valtellini at Glory 17: Los Angeles in Inglewood, California, US on June 21, 2014 when he dropped a unanimous decision. Both fighters scored knockdowns in the fight; Valtellini dropped de Bonte with a high kick in round three, while de Bonte floored Valtellini with a Flying#flying knee in round four.[31][32][33]
